I didn't say "leaks" in my slides. That's what you're misunderstanding. It merely creates a closure. This *can* lead to leaks, but doesn't always. I guess at some point I aught to pick up Error::Filter again. Damn that hard drive crash (which lost the source code I had for a source filter version of Error.pm, which didn't create closures). -- <:->Get a smart net

What you will get is an unexpected persistence of the value of the $count variable. It will retain its value and not be reset when you enter the handler sub again. There are other problems too, like "return" not doing what you would expect when used inside a try block (it only returns from the try block). - Perrin

Sorry to chime in a little late on this.
But the "Exceptions" slides from the page above are either misleading,
or I am misunderstainding just what exactly leaks in Error.
The slides above show a "BAD" example of Error.pm as:
sub handler {
my $r = shift;
my $count;
try {
# use $count in here...
} catch Error with {
};
}
However, the eToys article doesnt say that this is unsafe. What the
eToys article says is unsafe is code with nested try blocks like this:
my $count;
try {
...
try {
# use $count in *here*
};
};
in other words, if I understand the eToys article correctly, the leaks
only happen if I nest a try block inside another try block. I have
experimented some, and it appears to me that this is in fact the case
($count doesnt get cleaned up if there is a nested try). But as long as
I dont nest try blocks there doesnt appear to be a leak.
Are Matt's slides misleading on this point? Or am I missing something here?

I don't think it's as simple as that- THIS LEAKS: my $r = shift; $r = Apache::Request->new($r); my $r = shift; $r = Apache::Request->new($_) for $r; DOES NOT LEAK: my $apr = Apache::Request->new(shift); my $r = shift; my $apr = $r; # $r and $apr have the same referent now right? $apr = Apache::Request->new($r); my $r = shift; my $apr = Apache::Request->new($r); my $r = shift; $r = Apache::Request->new($_) for map $_, $r; Somehow the assignment operator MUST be involved in the leak here.

Greetings, Have noticed that modperl-2.0 servers running on Solaris 2.7 start off at 23M in size. Five hours later they were at 38M.

That is interesting. I remain with trouble, in that my TransHandler relies
on things that apparently aren't available at the PostReadRequest phase -
specifically dir_config settings don't seem to be available when I use this
approach.
I was successful in using $r->set_handlers('PerlTransHandler', undef) in my
TransHandler, which apparently avoids the implicit subrequest that occurs
after I decline my TransHandler for a non-existent file like described
above.
There's still an interesting issue, where a subrequest that I *intend* to do
(while serving a site-branded error message) still has the original
filename - so I had to call $r->filename('/path/to/error_message.html')
before my subrequest would do the right thing. But that problem is
independent of my above fix.
Thanks for the information, Rick. Very helpful!

At least I hope not :-) I ended up using something like this and the leak went away. It seems to me that this might actually be a Perl bug.
